Nose: A mellow first impression. Vanilla and chocolate, plus sweet and fruity wine barrel influences. Slightly acidic. A dusting of nutmeg with oranges and apricots. Flavor: The aromas promised mellow.... But the first sips brought spice and pepper punch. Followed up with sweet agave, a little brininess and more pepper punch. As it sat, chocolate, coffee and vanilla notes re-emerged as secondary flavors. Not my preferred style of tequila, yet solid. La Cofradia funk is still in the background. Finish: This won’t dazzle you with complexity, nor does it have marathon finish. But I see newcomers enjoying this.

Nose: Some of that famous La Cofradia funk, with a big scoop of vanilla and marshmallow. A bit of dust and earthiness. Flavor: Vanilla wafers, pepper and acrid bitterness. Thin in the mouth. Finish: Short.

Aromas of chocolate, fruit (peach?), butterscotch and light straw. Sweet butterscotch taste. A little light in the mouth with a short finish.

Cheap as chips & tastes like tequila should, not sure what else I should add. It’s too bad brands like this don’t have big endorsement and personality behind them, it would win people over in droves.

I love finding bargain tequilas, this is a gem for the price. Agave notes present all the way through the tasting, rich caramel notes from the oak and a lovely finish. Bueno!!
